The tunnel thru the air : $b or, Looking back from 1940
Gann, William D. (William Delbert)
Imaginary wars and battles -- Fiction; Science fiction
He left Berlin and was in Paris in a short time. France had sent
thousands of her planes into the air signaling the "Marie." They could
not see her and Supreme Commander Gordon communicated with them by
radio and anchored near the same spot where Lindbergh had landed over
five years before. He was taken aboard one of France's airplanes and
carried to the President, who greeted him cordially, kneeled and kissed
his cheeks and hands. Thanked him for the inventions which he had made
which would end war for all time. Supreme Commander Gordon had brought
a letter from the President of the United States thanking France for
her support and assuring them of our loyalty and support forever in the
future. He told the President of his plan for a United Kingdom of the
World. How he was going to call all the nations to New York for a peace
conference when the war was over, which he was assured would be when he
returned to New York. The President assured him that France would be
very happy to be the first nation to join with the United States in the
brotherhood of man to make it a United Kingdom of the World.
He told the President of France that he had brought with him on board
the "Marie" one of his Tunnel machines which he wanted to place in one
of the tallest buildings, establish a Tunnel thru the Air between New
York and Paris so that their airships could pass in safety thru the
Tunnel to New York, or if any of the officers in Canada wanted to come
home, they could proceed to New York and travel thru the Tunnel to
Paris. He tested out this machine after it had been set up, sent one
of the planes to New York thru the Tunnel and the round trip was made
in one hour and thirty minutes. He explained to the President that by
establishing a vacuum, it was possible to drive the machines in safety
at a terrific speed. He instructed Louis Corday, one of the famous aces
of the French Aviation Corps, how to handle the Tunnel machine.
Then Supreme Commander Gordon went to Lisbon and Madrid, Spain,
destroyed their most important buildings and put the people to sleep
for 7 days. Then proceeded to Rome where he destroyed all the fine
cathedrals, business and government buildings. Before arriving there
he had notified the Pope to get all the people out of the buildings
and instructed him where to go for safety, telling him he did not
wish to give him the sleeping gas but wanted him to be awake to pray
during the 7 days while all the inhabitants were asleep. Told him that
his people must be taught that God is more powerful than any ruler or
potentate and that the time would come when there must be one religion,
one United Kingdom of the World and one God.
From there he proceeded to the beautiful city of Vienna and having the
people removed from the buildings, turned on the "Demon of Death" and
melted the buildings down. Discharging sleeping gas from his machine,
he said good-bye to Vienna and proceeded to Moscow.
